Eva watches a cat kill a bird at a birdbath, and felt the universe was sending her some kind of message. "The only problem was, she didn't know whether she was the cat or the bird." Which do you think she was?

"...in order for true forgiveness to occur, something has to die first. Your expectations, or your circumstances. Maybe your heart. And that can be painful. But it's also incredibly liberating." Do you agree?

Claire thinks that "in this world, money and power were equivalent to immunity." Do you think this is true? Why or why not?

In what ways do you think the women's actions are influenced by their backgrounds? How much responsibility does each bear for the situations in which they find themselves?

Put yourself in Claire's shoes. How would it feel knowing that you've traded your life for someone else's? Would you feel guilty or fortunate, and why?

Why do you think Claire goes public? Would you have handled the situation differently? How do you think peoples' reactions to women who come forward with abuse allegations has changed in the past few years?

Liz encourages Eva to return to California and turn herself in. What do you think the outcome would have been if she had? If the plane crash hadn't occurred, do you think she would have been better off fleeing?
